Formed in Hawthorne, California in 1961, the original group comprised singer-musician-composer and bandleader Brian Wilson, his brothers Carl Wilson and Dennis Wilson, their cousin Mike Love, and friend Al Jardine. Wilson neighbor David Marks appeared on their first four albums and was a member from 1962 to 1963 as a temporary replacement for Jardine, who had left the group to pursue a career in dentistry.
On their first few studio albums, the group primarily played surf music, but this changed after 1964 as their songs became more sophisticated and autobiographical. The 1965 album Today! particularly represented this shift in sound. Bruce Johnston joined the group that same year. Session drummer Hal Blaine is quoted: "We all studied in conservatories; we were trained musicians. We thought it was a fluke at first, but then we realized Brian was writing these incredible songs. This was not just a young kid writing about high school and surfing."
Following their most esteemed work, Pet Sounds (1966), the band became symbols of psychedelic counterculture. The highly anticipated follow-up, Smile, was left unfinished, and Brian soon relinquished his creative hold on the group. A trilogy of lo-fi releases followed: Smiley Smile (1967), Wild Honey (1967), and Friends (1968). Brian would not be credited as a primary composer for any Beach Boys album until 1977's Love You, an album on the fringe of synth-pop, new wave, and punk.
In Brian's absence, the Beach Boys still managed to release music that was regarded favorably by fans and critics despite poor sales: Sunflower (1970) and Surf's Up (1971). South African musicians Blondie Chaplin and Ricky Fataar played and sang with the band on the next two albums: Carl & the Passions - So Tough (1972), and Holland (1973).
Many changes in both musical style and personnel have occurred in their sometimes-stormy career: Brian Wilson's mental illness and drug addiction; the deaths of Dennis Wilson in 1983 and Carl Wilson in 1998; and continuing legal battles among surviving members of the group. With the release of 1974's Endless Summer they became a more popular touring act, playing their greatest hits. They have recorded 36 Billboard Top 40 hits (including four number-one singles), have had over 100 million sales, and were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1988.

In My Room
The Beach Boys Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And tell my secrets to
In my room
In my room
In this world I lock out
All my worries and my fears
In my room
Do my dreaming and my scheming lie awake and pray
Do my crying and my sighing laugh at yesterday
Now it's dark and I'm alone
But I won't be afraid
In my room
In my room
The Beach Boys's song In My Room is a poignant piece of music that perfectly captures the universal human experience of seeking solace in a private haven. The opening lines "There's a world where I can go, And tell my secrets to" establishes a tone of intimacy and trust that is essential to understanding the song's message. As the lyrics continue, the listener is invited to imagine the safety and comfort of one's own bedroom - a place where all worries and fears can be locked out. The reflective and introspective nature of the lyrics is emphasized by the repetition of the phrase "In my room" like a mantra throughout the song.
The second verse of the song further explores the notion of privacy and the role of the bedroom as a sanctuary for dreaming, scheming, crying, and laughing. The ambiguity of the words "lie awake and pray" leaves it open to interpretation as to whether the subject of the song is religious or simply seeking a moment of reflection. The final verse offers a more melancholic perspective on solitude, but ultimately the message remains one of hope as the subject declares they will not be afraid in their room. The song culminates in a harmonious chorus that delivers a sense of closure and serenity.

There's a world where I can go
I have a special place where I can escape to
And tell my secrets to
Where I can trust to reveal what's in my heart
In my room
This place is found in the confines of my room
In this world I lock out
In my special world, I don't allow in
All my worries and my fears
My worries and fears are left outside
In my room
My retreat is safe, even in slightest uncertainty
In my room
My precious safe haven is here, always
Do my dreaming and my scheming lie awake and pray
In this place, I can enjoy dreaming, planning, and praying
Do my crying and my sighing laugh at yesterday
My tears of yesterday seem foolish in such immersive environment
Now it's dark and I'm alone
Even in the unlit times with loneliness, I remain here
But I won't be afraid
For my world gives me strength and assurance not to fear
In my room
For as much as there's life in me, it's all here, in my room

Lyrics:
There’s a world where I can go
And tell my secrets to
In my room
In my room (in my room)
In this world I lock out
All my worries and my tears
In my room
In my room (in my room)
Do my dreaming and my scheming
Lie awake and pray
Do my crying and my sighing
Laugh at yesterday
Now it’s dark and I’m alone
But I won’t be afraid
In my room
In my room (in my room, in my room)
In my room (in my room, in my room)

There, there is a place
Where I can go
When I feel low
When I feel blue
And that it's my mind
And there's no time
When I'm alone
I, I think of you
And things you do
Go 'round my head
The things you said
Like "I love only you"
In my mind there's no sorrow
Don't you know that it's so
There'll be no sad tomorrow
Don't you know that it's so
There, there is a place
Where I can go
When I feel low
When I feel blue
And that it's my mind
And there's no time
When I'm alone
There's a place
There's a place
There's a place
There's a place
@dizzy6277
There's a place where I can lie
With a pillow to rest my head
In my bed
In my bed (In my bed)
On my mattress I can't sleep
Feels like I've been trying for days
In my bed
In my bed (In my bed)
Finally sleeping, happily dreaming
Hoping it stays that way
Tossing and turning, a nightmare of falling
I scream myself awake
Under my blanket I'm so scared
And my light switch is too far away
In my bed
In my bed (in my bed, in my bed)
In my bed (in my bed, in my bed)
"Written for those who's bed is the favourite part of their room"
Original song by Brian Wilson and The Beach Boys. Rewritten by Dizzy.

Exodus 20
King James Version
20 And God spake all these words, saying,
2 I am the Lord thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.
5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;
6 And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.
7 Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain; for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.
8 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
9 Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:
10 But the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:
11 For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.
12 Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee.
13 Thou shalt not kill.
14 Thou shalt not commit adultery.
15 Thou shalt not steal.
16 Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.
17 Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's.

When I first heard this song a year ago (I'm young), I was completely blown away and couldn't stop listening for days. It just creates an atmosphere and warmth that is so comforting and pleasing to hear. Easily one of my all time favorites

My brother was agoraphobic. He rarely liked to travel far. He was a very intelligent person. He passed away in 2020. This song reminds me of how he had a TV, a radio, a DVD, VCR all in his room. His little oasis.
@SJerseyfishhead
@@larryholmerton8656 he was.
@gcm323
Nice to hear he had a safe harbor amidst the chaos. Similar to my older Bro who was never the same after returning from Viet Nam where he served in Intelligence and was awarded for something we were never told. Thankfully he’s now at peace.
@laraoneal7284
@SJerseyfishhead. That is beautiful. He sounds like an introvert. Sad he’s no longer here. Would have loved to hear his whole story.
